Reefer Madness

The cooling drawer has had any number of incarnations, both inside the refrigerator and as a stand-alone unit, but there's something about this version that touches me. It's not [quite] a beautiful appliance, but it's so very much a product of its era—1960—that I can't help but smile when I look at it. Caught in the transition between modernism and Mod, it seems both ahead and behind the times.
